STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - BTS Group AB (publ), a leading global strategy implementation firm, reports a preliminary profit before tax of approximately SEK 30 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to SEK 4 million in the corresponding quarter of 2020 and SEK 23 million for the first quarter of 2019, respectively. The preliminary profit before tax of approximately SEK 30 million for the first quarter of 2021 corresponds to an increase of 30 percent compared to the corresponding quarter of 2019.
The preliminary outcome for the first quarter is to be set against the outlook for 2021 according to which BTS in the year-end report for 2020 communicated that the result will be "significantly higher than in 2020 and in line with earnings in 2019."
The preliminary operating profit (EBITA) increased approximately 40 percent to approximately 41 MSEK in the first quarter compared to the corresponding quarter 2019.
The background to the improvement in earnings in the first quarter of 2021 is a large increase in sales of the company's new virtual solutions.
